Cariad Lloyd - You Are Not Alone

Season 4, Ep. 4
After a longer than planned absence due to Phillness, Natalie and Phil are back with more blockbuster books and award winning authors. This episode features the magnificent Cariad Lloyd whose own Podcast, Griefcast, is excellent on tackling Death and Bereavement. Her book follows on from the pod. It's called You Are Not Alone and in this episode we discuss death, dying, losing loved ones, what to say when someone tells you they're bereaved and why we don't seem very good still about talking about grief, coming to terms with grief and why we look for an elusive end to grief which we may not find. If you like what you hear and you'd love to support us to keep this podcast going, you can buy us a euphemistic coffee via ko-fi.com/bestsellerspodcast Thank You For Your Support

Scott Turow

Season 4, Ep. 1
BestSellers is back, baby!In this brand new season opener, Natalie and Phil talk to ace American thriller writer Scott Turow. Scott shot to fame in the 90s with Presumed Innocent which was turned into a Hollywood Blockbuster starring Harrison Ford. It's just about to be re-worked into an Apple TV show, with David E Kelley writing the episodes. We talk about that and we talk about Scott's incredible longevity, alongside his brand new thriller: SUSPECT, which gives a vehicle to lawyer Sandy Stern's granddaughter. It's a brilliant stand alone thriller and Scott talks candidly about the challenges for him of writing a female lead several decades younger than he is.You can buy Scott Turow - Suspect here.
